<PRE><B>Question 831034</B>
Find the final amount of a $200 investment after 18 years at 7.3% annual interest compounded continuously.
A(t) = P*e^(rt)
-----
A(18) = 200*e^(0.073*18) = $744.21
------------------------------------------ 
How long will it take for the initial investment to triple?
Solve: e^(0.073t) = 3
----
0.073t = ln(3)
t = 15.05 years
---------------------
Cheers,
